Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

Hi there, NOAA recently gave aviationweather.gov a huge overhaul and with that added a new API. We've now been able to add NOAA as a METAR source for FBW aircraft, providing worldwide coverage. The option is selectable on the flyPad ATSU/AOC settings page in the Development Version. Additionally the NOAA TAF source has been fixed in line with the new API, and a couple of other no-longer working options are removed. Happy flying.

Currently flying the Pilot's Dash 7 from KJFK to KBOS , IFR for an ILS into 33L. I am using the Dash 7 TDS GPS in the cockpit & somehow the PMS is on the drop down menu bar at the top of the screen. (Not sure how it got there) The TDS is controlling the flight on NAV AP. I have found when I set up the ILS flight in MSFS Scenario that the PMS imports the full flight plan & shows all of it, whereas the TDS just imports the departure airport & I have to enter all the waypoints if I want to see the correct flight plan. Is there a setting in the TDS whereby it will import the full MSFS flight plan, from start to finish? T45

Is Flightsim.to the only place to download Kuro's 787- 8 v2 .x ??

Why we have no nav departure procedures at a big airport hub like this is ? LNM don`t shows any all on newest 🤔 cheers 😉

I have read the content.xml file can be deleted to help with unexplained issues, but what other files could be safely deleted as part of a maintenance routine?

I have reinstalled STKP and it will start then hangs at Checking for plugins...... Tried the discord but it is useless. Whoever came up with discord should be......... Any ideas? 657791

I was just thinking the other day, what happened to the JATO update that GotFriends said they were working on. Well here it is with lots of updates, fixes, and additional stuff. I can't wait to try the DC-3 with JATO later today. Float and ski models included for the DC-3 of course. Thanks to GotFriends for doing this! It is worth checking out the rest of their site - some excellent stuff for free. https://www.got-friends.com/products/40th-anniversary-expansion?syclid=ckufa0etuops73bcfaf0&utm_campaign=emailmarketing_174181482799&utm_medium=email&utm_source=shopify_email DC3 Expansion Changelog: NOTE: We removed all files associated with…

Perhaps I’ve missed teasers somewhere, but any ideas what Carenado’s next peoject will be? I’d be thrilled to have their Aerocommander 500 in MSFS and ecstatic if we got the Turbocommander 690! Steve

Forgive me if this topic was covered. Searching did not show anything. I noticed today that the landing gear handle no longer goes up and down. It just moves a tiny bit regardless of whether I use the handle on my Thrustmaster Airbus Throttle Quadrant Ad-On, or the Bravo handle, or even using "G" or "Ctrl-G" for Gear Up and Gear Down. This was while sitting on the ground. When I take off, even before I lift the gear handle, the landing gear raises by itself. I am then unable to lower the gear while in flight, even if below the required speed. I have tried it with SimBridge on or off. It also occurs with either the Stable or Dev version, FBW A320 or Headwind A33…

Firstly I downloaded what was described as a setup of camera views for all different aircraft. I chose to update the Asobo Cessna Caravan. The camera views are 'word not allowed' so I want to restore then (camera.cfg). Is there a way to quickly update my instalation.

Hi All I bought this on simmarket yesterday - looks great apart from there seeming to be an invisible hole on the centerline half way down the runway that the Fenix keeps hitting. Has anyone else had this and found a resolution? Thanks Matt

So I got the maddog as my first tubeliner for MSFS, its overall the third maddog I have from Leonardo and before I had their 2 Versions of the plane in FSX. But this EFB thing is confusing me and I am not sure if it works as it should with the MSFS weight system. The load manager that comes with the plane states 149500lbs as MTOW (i use lbs because thats what the sim uses as well). However, the EFB states 122319lbs as MTOW and tells me "takeoff not allowed" when I am above it. Therefore on a heavier take-off flight i am not able to get matching V-speeds. I am also not really sure if MSFS properly updates my weights entered in the LM, as the figues provided by …

Just spotted a post on the official forum stating that they hope to release the SU14 beta this Friday (27th), it that can hit that schedule there should be official confirmation in tomorrows weekly blog post. https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/su-14-beta/613943/15

Hi all Just installed everything from scratch on a new PC. Everything seems settled in, but for some reason TIR freezes immediately when the app window opens. Also cannot close the app using End Process in task manager. Have tried a few re-installs of the software with no significant difference. Anyone else come across this? Someone had suggested deleting the settings.xml file in AppData/Natural Point - that hasn't helped. Also did a DDU uninstall of Nvidua drivers which someone else suggested (worked for him). Didn't work for me.

Before SU13 (and coincidentally rex accusim advanced) I had a rock solid sim with no crashes pretty much ever, now I am getting a crash on every flight I have tried with the fenix A320. It has happened right at the start of the flight while panning in the cockpit, and twice 10 minutes after takeoff in VR, and again 3 hours into a flight after switching back into VR. Any advice would be a big help. Right under the MSFS crash in event viewer there is always a .NET runtime error with flightsimulator.exe also listed as the faulting module. Crash Data for msfs crash: Faulting application name: FlightSimulator.exe, version: 1.34.16.0, time stamp: 0x00000000…

When I load up the aircraft I'm here... https://imgur.com/1P2yB7I No matter how many times I try Alt-1 and Crtl-1 and others, I can't get into the flight deck. I did download the cameras_YHnwZ add on file from flightsim.to Can anyone help?

First time downloading the installer from Headwinds and after I d/l it the file/installer says unconfirmed (numbers).crdownload. Any suggestions?? Any other way to get the installer?? Thanx appreciate your help....

For those who like this splendid aircraft, Kuro has made it even better with a number of fixes and updates - after their initial release of version 2 immediately after AAU2 - to be downloaded here. No need to uninstall the previous version, the new installer will take care of it. Another project of Kuro is to implement the built-in EFB in a future update. Exciting times ahead for long-haulers. FAQ are covered here. Enjoy!

Not sure if this has been discussed but since MSFS 2024 is more cloud reliant do we know if more capacity has been promised? sp

I was a naysayer for awhile regarding this tool, but recently thought, "ah what the hell, it's $5 for a month to try out the professional version." I've gotta say, it's pretty great. Been using the updated Bing maps and they're fantastic. I tried Google, but noticed on flights lasting more than 3 hours, it would stop streaming. Not sure if Google IP bans after awhile. I also tried the experimental 'Hybrid' mode that is supposed to use the best data for each region, but noticed much more texture popping while at altitude. Enabling 'High LOD uses a higher zoom level at all altitudes; this looks especially convincing on approach, and at altitude the buildings look 3D, even t…

Not sure if you guys knew, care, or use it already, but Reshade does work with Frame Generation. I was avoiding trying it because I was under the impression that they were incompatible. Just gave it a shot again today, and it works! Really well, I might add; no crashing, hiccups, or anything funny. After I installed it, I did delete all of my Nvidia shaders, just to be safe. Using a 4090 and HDR monitor, I did not notice any performance degradation at all. Some of the presets are a bit "meh" and overly cinematic, but you can dial them in to your liking. I'm not a fan of using G-Force Experience since it's mostly another bloat program. …

Just curious what is the difference to butter smooth performance 30 to 40 frames and 60 to 80 frames butter smooth perforamcne ? Take for instance I am using the PMDG 700 series at an airport such as KEWR,, KORD, or KLAX or KPVU. or CYU, Personally I keep my frames locked at 40 and my graphic settings are ULTRA and HIGH, using DX11, using FS Traffic. my specs are below, TLOD at 150=200, Nividia 3080 10700K 4.8ghz OC. What are your thoughts ? Don't forget to put your settings in as well.

I have FPrealistic, but how does Simhaptic differ? Same developer and a similar product.

Came across this video showing an MSFS developer camera option which shows a figure for FOV. In the official forum it has been suggested the FOV shown is in Radians and relates to a vertical field of view. Using an online FOV tool, my seating positions requires a vertical FOV of 27 degrees. If the FOV in the video is in radians, that would make my zoom setting in MSFS 88. Any clever person out there could glance their eyes over the video and work out what the FOV shown represents?
